Kendjam 2023 Season Fishing Report | Week 13 September 17 to 24

Water Conditions:

Water Color – Clear

Water Level – Low

Weather Conditions:

Temperature – Average 32ºC

Sunny most days with some sporadic rain

Fishing conditions:

The last storm provided relief from the extreme temperatures we were experiencing.

Especially the first days the fish were clearly more active.

Excellent sizes Matrinxas  could not resist the work of small streamers like clouser minnow or Lefty’s deceiver.

We got the opportunity to fish for silver Pacus that were eating flowers and leaves that came from the trees.

The rubber Pacu also showed their presence by grabbing dries again and fighting those battles that characterizes them so much.

Peacock bass  and Wolfish were very  active also. But these last ones were in a remarkable way. We found them again in pairs or groups at the heads of waterfalls and in the main channel.

We were able to finish our last week of the season with great success.

Fishing stats:

Group: 5 anglers

Total number of fish landed in the week – 300

Biggest fish landed in the week:

Wolf Fish: 80 cm

Peacock Bass: 62 cm

Mantrinxã: 48 cm

Highlights:

We had a visit from fishermen from the USA, Poland and Australia. Fantastic group who faced the low water conditions without problems with captures and stories that prove it.

We had several Peacock Bass over 60cm and Matrinxas above 45cm. 

Mariusz caught a Matrinxa 48cm that give an incredible battle after taking a small Lefty’s deceiver white and blue.

His  fishing partner , Marek, also got a similar catch a short distance away. Big matrinxas ​​were on fire!!!

Tony and Scott had an incredible last day of fishing with multiple  catches and excellent sizes after a long trip to the upper river. The long trip was more than worth it!!!

Our Australian friend, Darren, finished his excellent week of fishing with the capture of a 76cm bicuda on his “last cast”.

We couldn't finish the last week of the season in a better way.

Congratulations to the fishermen who knew how to overcome extreme situations with technique and good attitude!
